European Union's "End of Life Vehicle" standard for Cr6 chromates

Is there a USA equivalent mandate to the European Union's "End of Life Vehicle" standard for Cr6 chromates? Can anyone point me to it?

Go to web.......search for WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)

The automotive industry has some data on what the end of life directive may have in store for the automotive industry in USA.

WEEE has info about consumer and electrical products. Lot's of info out there on the web.

Lots of different opinions out there about this directive.

The corporation I work for is seriously interested in how this will affect our products in the future.

For European Directive see: Official Journal of the European Communities -Common Position (EC) No 19/2002 - adopted by the Council on 4 December 2001 - with view to adopting Directive 2002/../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of...on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS).
